Pickup run?
What the hell is that?
If its a school pick up, f those ninnies.

[quote]The Spurs drafted David Robinson, then Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu, Kawhi Leonard, and now Wembenyama.
That's some amazing drafting right there.[/quote]

People ask me what can brighten up a miserable season of basketball.
A Kentucky loss to a double digit seed early in the tourney is worth about a win and a half, in terms of optimism/pessimism.
